LETTER: Our values for life have disintegrated

Regarding the recent Sunday, June 16 opinion article "Where is the outrage" by Peggy Breister concerning the mandating of a medical test/procedure for women considering an abortion, it seems "The Establishment" is worried that government intervention could possibly cancel a planned abortion and the woman's child might enter into our society as a member of our conservative heritage.

Has it ever occurred to the abortion crowd that every child aborted had the same right to life as they had,and every woman who has submitted to an abortion endangered her health in this most unnatural and gruesome procedure?

The argument is often made that the decision should be between the woman and her doctor. Nothing is ever mentioned about the welfare of her baby, or is it not worth mentioning?

This is where we need to go back to the 1950s 'when a conceived child had total protection of the law. It was back in the '50s when the birth of a child was heralded with joy and congratulatory messages were sent to the family from the four corners of the community.

The father proudly sported cigars labeled with the babies gender. Have we become so complacent that our values for life have totally disintegrated and pregnancy is labeled a mistake or an accident?

The column continues, "My guess is that most physicians would argue that prenatal care also protects life but we don't mandate that." The only difference is, abortion destroys what prenatal care protects.

I hope that society will soon come to its senses and realize that a conceived child be afforded total respect, dignity, and protection as a new member of our human race and that woman, the author of life will receive equally the same respect.
